Councillor André Beetge said the SCA had to be switched off at 11:00 today (February 7) to protect the pumps due to a drastic drop in the Wiggins Water Treatment Works’ supply levels.
“While there is still a limited supply in the reservoirs, some areas might already be experiencing supply challenges, with more to follow as the local supply gets depleted,” he said.
He added that updates regarding the situation will be supplied as received.
